The fans of the Dallas Cowboys should support their team for finally getting rid of Dez Bryant.

It’s one thing for a player to be great on the field but a headache and problem in the locker room, but for a player to not be on the same level as what he has been paid for and been a headache, that is something that will not be tolerated.

Bryant was hyped to be the next big thing when coming out of Oklahoma State and the Cowboys even gave him the prestigious #88 jersey.

Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones selected Bryant in the first round of the 2010 Draft. He put up some impressive numbers with OSU that earned him that right to be drafted so high.

Coming out of the draft, he signed with the Cowboys for five years, $12.05 million, roughly $8.4 million guaranteed. Big money to say the least.

Once Roy Williams departed from the team in 2011, he became the primary wide receiver alongside Miles Austin.

As he got better and better, the Cowboys signed him to a new contract in 2015 that earned him a five-year, $70 million contract that includes $45 million of guaranteed money and a $20 million signing bonus.

Not only his productive gone down but he is not always playing. He only played nine games in 2015 and 13 in 2016. He finished the 2017 season with 69 receptions for 838 yards and six touchdowns. Those are not great numbers for the major money that he is earning.

If the Cowboys released Bryant this offseason then they would save $12 million. The Cowboys don’t have much in terms of their receiver core.

Outside of Terrance Williams and Cole Beasley, they lost Brice Butler who has been groomed for a few years but wants to be starter. Also, their fan-favorite tight end Jason Witten called it a career soon.

With Bryant not being as productive as he once was and pulling in major money, the Cowboys could use that money to find new talent and help out starting quarterback Dak Prescott and they did just that.

As seen in this photo below, the stats do not lie and it was the right call to let Bryant depart as Bryant is someone who always wants the ball but Prescott does better when he spreads the rock around.

What’s interesting is that now that we are a few weeks away from training camps, Bryant has still yet to find a new team. Good luck bud.
